With every event regardless of size, budget, time of year, an invitation is always a key element in the planning process, a key decision to be made; after all the invitation is somewhat a prelude to the event. The invitation sets the tone to the event; it gives your guests an idea of what’s to come and what’s to be expected. Whether you’re requesting the company of your guests to attend a farewell brunch, a bachelorette party, an intimate dinner party, or a wedding, you want the invitation to impress! You want that first impression of the event which you’re planning to make a statement and nothing will make a nicer statement than a beautifully designed invitation.
I have to confess that I’ve had a very healthy obsession with the amazing designers at Praez Occasions! If you’re ever lucky enough to work with those phenomenal designers, you too will develop a healthy obsession with their work!
Praez Occasions full-service design firm, a true atelier with an unconventional flair for the fine details, committed to helping you announce your life’s most precious moments with exceptional quality and sophistication. Their passion is the expression of your unique vision, style, and taste. Inspired by everything around them, Praez Occasions custom design and handcraft creations that evoke lasting memories, from your Save The Date to your Thank You notes.
I love these planning tips from their website which I think most brides can certainly appreciate. Off course you absolutely must visit their site for more information about their scrumptious invitations.
Planning Advice from Praez Occasions.
We employ a collaborative 3-part process that spans approximately 8-10 weeks, during which we analyze your needs, explore custom styling options, and execute the fine details. For best results, we offer the following tips:
• Start out a minimum of 3 months before the event to provide ample time to achieve your desired results
• Share your ideas & “design wish list”
• Provide details and images of the event site
• Submit venue maps & directions, as they can be incorporated into your design
• Submit images of your floral arrangements whenever possible
• Supply any special wording or phrases that you want to use
• Proofread everything carefully! It costs more to fix a mistake than to do it right the first time
We provide digital proofs on every design via Adobe PDF file by email, and make a physical sample available for final approval before commencing production.

“Prisoner of Love!” This is my absolutely, without a doubt my favorite invitation. The title sums it all for me. Can you imagine being the invite to receive such an invitation? What would you think about this wedding? I know I would gasp!
Can you imagine getting this as your Save The Date? I’m giggly just thinking about it!
I just love the peacock feathers in this menu card. What a grand way to dress the tables and make a statement. Do allow your eyes to wonder to the little details of the fine fabric and peacock studs.

Years ago, I was privy to working with this designer based out of New York and I was utterly impressed with her attention to detail and passion for designing the most exquisite invitations. The very first collection is one of my personal favorites. I love the exquisite look of this luxurious box invitation which is made with the finest silk and embellished with a simple but stunning crystal closure only to reveal the hand printed custom invitation. With an invitation such as this, it tells your guests “my wedding is not to be missed!”
